Recycling has very quickly become standard practice for all households However, we must do more, and it will intensify. Micro plastics are omni present within our oceans. Manchester University discovered up to 1.9 million pieces per square metre! The impact of plastics within our oceans can be devastating to all marine life.
Recent weather events, both home and internationally have produced extremes of heat/forest fires, and unprecedented flooding with a catastrophic loss of life, all of which the scientists are blaming on the planet getting warmer, which in turn is having a devastating impact on our natural eco system.
Everybody has to play their part, and demonstrate they are committed to making a difference, and take positive carbon reduction steps to reduce global warming.
No one in the UK waterproofing and preservation market is doing more than Wykamol by investing in Solar energy to reduce the carbon emissions from our two manufacturing sites by over 62 tonnes per year, but also taking steps to introduce both hybrid and fully electric vehicles to our fleet.
Contractors and other customers using the Wykamol range of waterproofing and preservation products can pass on this green message to their customers, safe in the knowledge that by choosing Wykamol they are making an environmental difference.
For every 200kg of HDPE collected we will be saving enough energy to make 32,000 cups of tea, or drive 3496 miles in a large 2L diesel vehicle.
Enough energy saved to drive 189,000 miles in a large 2L diesel vehicle, that’s 3600 miles per week!
Enough energy saved per annum to stop the melting of 186m2 of Artic ice, that by the way is about 2.5m in thickness!
No one in the UK waterproofing and preservation market is doing more than Wykamol to embrace green energy, and make a real difference to our planet.
As the only UK manufacturers of waterproofing membranes and other complementing products, we can now also add to this that our manufacturing is substantially enabled by solar energy.
Not only are we hugely reducing our carbon emissions, but materials are processed in the UK partly by solar, and also incorporating in-house recycling which no one else can offer.
Customers are becoming increasingly aware of global warming, and the need to embrace change, therefore as a customer of Wykamol you can promote the use of our products and the virtues of a UK manufactured range, that has solar energy use at its very heart, and without the need to import products which by the nature of their transport actually increase their carbon footprint.
